The Epstein Files Transparency Act aims to mandate the public release of all unclassified documents and records held by the Department of Justice (DOJ) relating to Jeffrey Epstein. The bill's primary objective is to increase transparency surrounding the Epstein case by requiring the Attorney General to make available a wide range of materials, including investigative files, communications, and records concerning Epstein's alleged sex trafficking activities, his associates, detention, and death. The legislation also establishes strict guidelines for the declassification of related information and imposes reporting requirements to Congress on the release process.
